Egypt stops fining Russians for expired visas

The Egyptian authorities, as a temporary measure, decided to cancel fines for tourists from Russia for late departure from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

In recent days, thousands of Russians who came on vacation to Egypt have been fined due to the expiration of their visas, which was due to restrictions on the organization of flights. As a result, many tourists are stuck in the Land of the Pyramids.

The Federal Tourism Agency reported numerous complaints from tourists about fines issued by the relevant authorities in Egypt.

As a result, the Russian department turned to Cairo with a request to provide assistance to citizens who actually turned out to be hostages of a difficult situation. The Ministry of Tourism of Egypt agreed, and the fines were temporarily canceled.
